With the economic down turn continuing in the US and Europe, LiveMint e-paper reports many Southeast Asian luxury hotels are turning their attention to India's growing number of wealthy families.

Cultural

East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. The practice of praying towards the East is older than Christianity, but has been adopted by this religion as the Orient was thought of as containing mankind's original home. Hence, most Christian churches are oriented towards the east.

Points of the compass

The points of the compass are points on a compass, specifically on the compass rose, marking divisions of the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. The number of points may be only the 4 cardinal points, or the 8 principal points adding the intercardinal (or ordinal) directions northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). In meteorological usage further intermediate points are added to give the sixteen points of a wind compass. Finally, at the most complete in European tradition, are found the full thirty-two points of the mariner's compass. In ancient China 24 points of the compass were used.

In the mariner's exercise of boxing the compass, all thirty-two points of the compass are named in clockwise order. The names of intermediate points are formed by the initials of the cardinal directions and their intermediate ordinal directions, and are very handy to refer to a heading (or course or azimuth) in a general or colloquial fashion, without having to resort to computing or recalling degrees. For most applications, the minor points have been superseded by degrees measured clockwise from North.

Northeast India is generally considered one of the most challenging regions of the country to govern. It has been the site of separatist movements among the tribal peoples, who speak languages related to Tibeto-Burman.

Northeast India constitutes about 8% of India's size; roughly 3/4th the size of the state of Maharashtra. Its population is approximately 40 million (2011 census), 3.1% of the total Indian population; roughly equal to that of Odisha.

A Backpackers Guide To India: North Eastern India HD

In this episode, we explore the chaos of Kolkata, sip calming tea in Darjeeling and navigate the rocky roads in the North Eastern state of Sikkim.
NJPStation (New Jalpaiguri) is the gateway to the North Eastern part of India.Roads around this part of the country are pretty rough and as a result, the most common mode of transport are 4x4 jeeps (as opposed to bus's and trains).
As a tourist, you'll need to get an 'inner line permit' to visit Sikkim. These permits are issued on arrival on the land borders of Sikkim - most popular is "Rangpoo Check Post". You must ENTER and EXIT through a land border with a tourist office located on it so officials can stamp you in and stamp you out. Not all boarders have a tourist office - we learned this the hard way.

India Documentary: The Unexplored Paradise of North-East India

This IndiaTravelDocumentary centers on the area of India beyond the Siliguri junction squeezing through Nepal and Bangladesh, which is a relatively unexplored area as far as tourism, especially the "7 sister" states of Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. This region is wildly diverse, and aptly earns it's name of being "paradise unexplored."
This documentary features 9 states of India, where we explore the places, eat the food, and meet the people.

Calcutta and Northeast India Travel Guide

WildFrontiers' Jonny Bealby presents a guide to Calcutta and the Northeast of India.
As far as Wild Frontiers is concerned Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that comprises pretty much anything east of Delhi, running along the Ganges flood plain to Calcutta and beyond to the borders of Bangladesh, Burma and Bhutan.
If most travellers coming to India head west out of Delhi to Rajasthan, most that don't head east down the Ganges to Varanasi.
Most of these travel by air or rail directly to Varanasi but if you are of an adventurous disposition there are many interesting places to stop off at along the route, such as Rishikesh -- where the Beatles stayed and wrote the famous White Album -- or Lucknow, a beautiful city packed with fabulous Moghul architecture. In fact if you're lookin...

Check out my Darjeeling travel guide here - http://migrationology.com/2013/05/darjeeling-travel-guide-things-you-need-to-know/ | Have Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/migrationology
Darjeeling, India, is located in the very Northern part of the West Bengal state. Coming from Kolkata, it's hard to believe that Darjeeling is actually in the same state, it's such a vastly different place.
In order to get to Darjeeling, India, it's easiest to take the train to the nearest station which is located at New Jalpaiguri (known just as NJP by the train code). There's little to do in NJP, but from right outside the train station you can then board to a shared jeep and for 200 Rupees, you can take the jeep straight to Darjeeling. The jeep normally takes about 4 hours to reach the town and they wil...

Cherrapunjee - a comprehensive guide for tourists

A slideshow on Cherrapunjee in the state of Meghalaya, in North-East India. This beautiful place once held the record of getting the heaviest annual rainfall in the world(the current record is held by another town a few miles away). The rolling hill, meadows, gorges and plateaus make this a great getaway from the hustle-bustle of urban life.

In this episode, we explore the chaos of Kolkata, sip calming tea in Darjeeling and navigate the rocky roads in the North Eastern state of Sikkim.

If most travellers coming to India head west out of Delhi to Rajasthan, most that don't head east down the Ganges to Varanasi.
Most of these travel by air or rail directly to Varanasi but if you are of an adventurous disposition there are many interesting places to stop off at along the route, such as Rishikesh -- where the Beatles stayed and wrote the famous White Album -- or Lucknow, a beautiful city packed with fabulous Moghul architecture. In fact if you're looking for a group tour you might like to try our Slow Down the Ganges trip, which, having spent some time in the Himalayas and at Corbett Tiger Park, takes a boat from Allahabad, spending two days and nights, on this spiritual aqua highway.
Whatever your preferred form of transport is to Varanasi, even the most seasons travellers among you are in for a shock when you get there.
Varanasi sits at the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical SaraSwatiRivers and as such is one of the most important pilgrimage centres in the whole country. Over 60,000 devotees a day come here to cleanse themselves in the rivers holy waters. Others come here to die believing death in Varanasi removes you from the cycle of rebirth and delivers you to heaven and the burning ghats, and the religious festivals that go on here, day and night, are an ever present accompaniment.
From Varanasi you can continue east to Calcutta -- personally my favourite city in India. Largely off the beaten track, Calcutta -- or Kolkata, as its now known locally -- is a quintessential Indian city; a place of bustling bazaars and markets, of epic historical monuments, amazing decaying architecture, great cuisine and above all a buzzing humanity.
And from here head north. First and foremost to the famous tea plantations of Darjeeling -- where you'll find an interesting town, some great accommodation, and wonderful views, particularly of the 8,000m epic mountain Kanchenjunga. And from here, you can continue east, perhaps on one of the famous river boats up the Brahmaputra River, to Nagaland and a very different India.
We have a number of group tours to this region; the afore mentioned SlowlyDown the Ganges. Land of the Kama Sutra -- which among other things takes in the amazing SonepurElephant Festival -- and perhaps one of our most remote trips called the Nagaland Festival Tour -- which takes you right up into the far northeast. And of course, back in our offices in London and Delhi, we have specialist travel planners that know all these places inside out waiting to help you create the most perfect tailor-made experience.
Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that will require greater effort on the part of the international traveller. It is a region that is less visited than others, where the infrastructure is less well developed. But it is also an region that is home to some of India's most iconic attractions.

And from here, you can continue east, perhaps on one of the famous river boats up the Brahmaputra River, to Nagaland and a very different India.
We have a number of group tours to this region; the afore mentioned SlowlyDown the Ganges. Land of the Kama Sutra -- which among other things takes in the amazing SonepurElephant Festival -- and perhaps one of our most remote trips called the Nagaland Festival Tour -- which takes you right up into the far northeast. And of course, back in our offices in London and Delhi, we have specialist travel planners that know all these places inside out waiting to help you create the most perfect tailor-made experience.
Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that will require greater effort on the part of the international traveller. It is a region that is less visited than others, where the infrastructure is less well developed. But it is also an region that is home to some of India's most iconic attractions.

Travel video about destination Kolkata in India.Calcutta, or Kolkata as it has been known since 2001, is the capital of West Bengal and also the second largest city in India.
A city of contrasts that could not be more striking with slums, poverty and degrading conditions, while nearby, the wealthy enjoy all the finer things of life. Once a humble village on the Hooghly River, Kolkata became the capital of British India.
Close to the Victoria Memorial is the Orient's first Anglican cathedral, St. Paul's, a remarkable sacred building. Of Indo-Gothic design, it was built between 1839 and 1847 and is a legacy of British colonial rule on the banks of the Gulf of Bengal. The red brick Writers´ Building was formerly the headquarters of the East India Company and it was from there that trade was carried out across the entire world. It was also the administrative centre for Bengal, Burma and Pakistan.Kalighat is the oldest pilgrimage destination in the world. Narrow pathways lead to a Shiva temple along with stalls selling souvenirs and religious offerings.T he sanctuary was built in 1809 and is still busy today as taxis and bicycle rickshaws wait for the thousands of pilgrims that go there each day. In Kolkata, the Hindu doctrine of a better life after rebirth is, for many, the only hope that they can cling to.
Nevertheless, Kolkata is one of the most fascinating metropolises in the world and also one in which chaos reigns supreme!

Darjeeling, India, is located in the very Northern part of the West Bengal state. Coming from Kolkata, it's hard to believe that Darjeeling is actually in the same state, it's such a vastly different place.
In order to get to Darjeeling, India, it's easiest to take the train to the nearest station which is located at New Jalpaiguri (known just as NJP by the train code). There's little to do in NJP, but from right outside the train station you can then board to a shared jeep and for 200 Rupees, you can take the jeep straight to Darjeeling. The jeep normally takes about 4 hours to reach the town and they will often stop for a few bathroom and snack breaks. The ride to Darjeeling is very windy and very uphill into the mountains, so if you get sick easily, be sure to take motion sickness medication. You will have some amazing views on the road!
Darjeeling, India, is an old hill station that offers beautiful views of the Himalayas. It's a small town and unlike other huge Indian cities, it's much quieter, peaceful, and it's a very nice place to just explore on foot (though not all the attractions are accessible on foot). So after arriving in Darjeeling, I first set off to explore the Chowrasta Square, which is a non-vehicle area with shops restaurants and cafes. There are also many trails leading from the square to other parts of the town. I explored a few of the footpaths leading in various directions to discover Buddhist Tibetan temples and other residential areas.
Probably the most famous thing about Darjeeling, India, is its production of tea; It's one of the most famous places in the world for tea. The climate, elevation, and rich Himalayan soil make it prime growing conditions. Surrounding Darjeeling you'll have a chance to see rolling tea fields and if you have time you can even visit a tea farm such as Happy Valley. Don't forget to buy plenty of tea in Darjeeling before you depart.
At the top of the main hill in Darjeeling is the Mahakal Temple, one of the most famous Hindu / Buddhist temples in the city. The temple is fully decorated by Tibetan colorful flags and there are lots and lots of monkeys, that can at times be aggressive. You can also walk around the area and explore the cave. Just be careful of the scammers in this area that try to ask you for donations. Another one of the most famous attractions in Darjeeling, India, is the Darjeeling Himalayan railroad which is better known as the Toy Train. It's an old locomotive train that runs of burning coal. You can go to the railroad station and purchase tickets daily for the joy ride, which is a 1.5 hour circuit that takes you on a leisurely ride from Darjeeling to Ghoom, the highest elevation railroad station in all of India. The railroad is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Tibetan Refugee Self Help Center is a center for Tibetan refugees where you'll find handicrafts and other things to purchase. When I went it was quite quiet and there actually wasn't much to do there. Other really popular attractions in Darjeeling, India, include the Himalayan Zoo and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, which are located on the same compound and accessed with the same entrance ticket fee. The zoo was interesting and included a snow leopard and lots of red pandas. The mountaineering institute is a museum that houses many artifacts from Himalayan mountain climbing expeditions.
While many choose to wake up and go to Tiger Hill for the sunrise of the beautiful Himalayan mountain range, I was so cold that I didn't wake up and just stayed on the balcony of my hotel to view the gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. Darjeeling, India, is a beautiful little town and you'll have a great and relaxing time when you travel there!

South East Asian luxury hotel chains look to India

With the economic down turn continuing in the US and Europe, LiveMint e-paper reports many Southeast Asian luxury hotels are turning their attention to India's growing number of wealthy families.
Last October, Thailand-based Six Senses Resorts and Spas, which has 10 properties in Europe and Asia, opened a spa in a Jaypee group hotel in Greater Noida.
The luxury hotel operator also has two more projects coming up in Pune and one in Mumbai.
According to industry experts, these luxury hoteliers are eyeing the increasing number of upper middle class households for luxury services.
Forbes magazine featured 55 Indian billionaires in its rich list for 2011 against eight Indians in 2004 and only three in 1996.

Travel Diary #2 - Kerala, India

***WATCH IN 1080 HD***
Hi loves,
This is my second travel diary! We traveled to Kerala, India where we visited both Alleppey aka Alappuzha and Munnar. While in Alleppey we saw the backwaters and road on a boat, which took forever to come lol. We also stayed on the beach and had a great time. Afterwords we went to Munnar which is a hill station. It was stunning. It surpassed all our expectations. We saw tea plantations, elephants, and Kathakali dance. It was wonderful. I definitely encourage everyone to visit

In India, falling in love with the wrong person can be deadly.
Every day, sons and daughters are beaten - some even killed - by their own families for rejecting the caste system and falling in love across strict social boundaries.
But in Delhi, a group of men calling themselves the Love Commandos are risking their own lives to save young people from vicious honour killings and forced marriages.
In this episode, 101 East meets the men desperate to help love find a way in a country where following your heart can bring not only dishonour but also death.
They work in one of the most dangerous and conservative areas of Pakistan.
"Where I come from, women are not usually allowed to get an education," says Khalida Niaz, who went on a hunger strike to convince her father to let her finish school.
Now, she is a radio newsreader for the TribalNewsNetwork, which broadcasts across Pakistan's troubled border region with Afghanistan.
Reporting the news here can be deadly - threats by armed groups have shut down most media outlets. But Khalida and her colleagues know there are some stories that only women can tell.
101 East meets the team making women's voices heard in Pakistan's tribal region.

South East Asian luxury hotel chains look to India

With the economic down turn continuing in the US and Europe, LiveMint e-paper reports many Southeast Asian luxury hotels are turning their attention to India's growing number of wealthy families.
Last October, Thailand-based Six Senses Resorts and Spas, which has 10 properties in Europe and Asia, opened a spa in a Jaypee group hotel in Greater Noida.
The luxury hotel operator also has two more projects coming up in Pune and one in Mumbai.
According to industry experts, these luxury hoteliers are eyeing the increasing number of upper middle class households for luxury services.
Forbes magazine featured 55 Indian billionaires in its rich list for 2011 against eight Indians in 2004 and only three in 1996.
Indeed, in a recent report, KotakWealth Management and Crisil Research said, notwithstanding the economic slowdown, the number of wealthy households in India is estimated to have grown 30% to around 81,000 in 2011-12, and is expected to triple to around 286,000 over the next five years.
Several other luxury hotel operators are also strengthening their hold in India.Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts plans to open a resort in Kerala this year, followed by a property in Goa.
Bangkok's Lebua Hotels and Resorts, will open its second property in Goa by next September.
Another Bangkok company, DusitInternational, is set to open five properties in India this year, starting with its most luxurious brand Dusit Deverana.

The first video in our series looks at options in south-east Asia, a region that is home to some of the most beautiful and exclusive honeymoon hideaways on the planet.

A Backpackers Guide To India: North Eastern India HD

In this episode, we explore the chaos of Kolkata, sip calming tea in Darjeeling and navigate the rocky roads in the North Eastern state of Sikkim.
NJPStation (New Jalpaiguri) is the gateway to the North Eastern part of India.Roads around this part of the country are pretty rough and as a result, the most common mode of transport are 4x4 jeeps (as opposed to bus's and trains).
As a tourist, you'll need to get an 'inner line permit' to visit Sikkim. These permits are issued on arrival on the land borders of Sikkim - most popular is "Rangpoo Check Post". You must ENTER and EXIT through a land border with a tourist office located on it so officials can stamp you in and stamp you out. Not all boarders have a tourist office - we learned this the hard way.

India Documentary: The Unexplored Paradise of North-East India

This IndiaTravelDocumentary centers on the area of India beyond the Siliguri junction squeezing through Nepal and Bangladesh, which is a relatively unexplored area as far as tourism, especially the "7 sister" states of Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. This region is wildly diverse, and aptly earns it's name of being "paradise unexplored."
This documentary features 9 states of India, where we explore the places, eat the food, and meet the people.

Calcutta and Northeast India Travel Guide

WildFrontiers' Jonny Bealby presents a guide to Calcutta and the Northeast of India.
As far as Wild Frontiers is concerned Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that comprises pretty much anything east of Delhi, running along the Ganges flood plain to Calcutta and beyond to the borders of Bangladesh, Burma and Bhutan.
If most travellers coming to India head west out of Delhi to Rajasthan, most that don't head east down the Ganges to Varanasi.
Most of these travel by air or rail directly to Varanasi but if you are of an adventurous disposition there are many interesting places to stop off at along the route, such as Rishikesh -- where the Beatles stayed and wrote the famous White Album -- or Lucknow, a beautiful city packed with fabulous Moghul architecture. In fact if you're looking for a group tour you might like to try our Slow Down the Ganges trip, which, having spent some time in the Himalayas and at Corbett Tiger Park, takes a boat from Allahabad, spending two days and nights, on this spiritual aqua highway.
Whatever your preferred form of transport is to Varanasi, even the most seasons travellers among you are in for a shock when you get there.
Varanasi sits at the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical SaraSwatiRivers and as such is one of the most important pilgrimage centres in the whole country. Over 60,000 devotees a day come here to cleanse themselves in the rivers holy waters. Others come here to die believing death in Varanasi removes you from the cycle of rebirth and delivers you to heaven and the burning ghats, and the religious festivals that go on here, day and night, are an ever present accompaniment.
From Varanasi you can continue east to Calcutta -- personally my favourite city in India. Largely off the beaten track, Calcutta -- or Kolkata, as its now known locally -- is a quintessential Indian city; a place of bustling bazaars and markets, of epic historical monuments, amazing decaying architecture, great cuisine and above all a buzzing humanity.
And from here head north. First and foremost to the famous tea plantations of Darjeeling -- where you'll find an interesting town, some great accommodation, and wonderful views, particularly of the 8,000m epic mountain Kanchenjunga. And from here, you can continue east, perhaps on one of the famous river boats up the Brahmaputra River, to Nagaland and a very different India.
We have a number of group tours to this region; the afore mentioned SlowlyDown the Ganges. Land of the Kama Sutra -- which among other things takes in the amazing SonepurElephant Festival -- and perhaps one of our most remote trips called the Nagaland Festival Tour -- which takes you right up into the far northeast. And of course, back in our offices in London and Delhi, we have specialist travel planners that know all these places inside out waiting to help you create the most perfect tailor-made experience.
Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that will require greater effort on the part of the international traveller. It is a region that is less visited than others, where the infrastructure is less well developed. But it is also an region that is home to some of India's most iconic attractions.

Welcome to Aizawl the beautiful hill city of Mizoram state in Northeast India. In this video important landmarks and places of interest in Aizawl city are shown for tourists who come from outside. If you are interested in visiting to Aizawl you must watch this video to gain proper information all about it. And also for the native Aizawlite who settle in far distance place this video might give you good nostalgic moment while watching it. Feel free to write your comments below.

Kolkata (India) Vacation Travel Video Guide

✱ 213 Hotels in Kolkata - Lowest Price Guarantee ► http://goo.gl/vLvuTI
Travel video about destination Kolkata in India.Calcutta, or Kolkata as it has been known since 2001, is the capital of West Bengal and also the second largest city in India.
A city of contrasts that could not be more striking with slums, poverty and degrading conditions, while nearby, the wealthy enjoy all the finer things of life. Once a humble village on the Hooghly River, Kolkata became the capital of British India.
Close to the Victoria Memorial is the Orient's first Anglican cathedral, St. Paul's, a remarkable sacred building. Of Indo-Gothic design, it was built between 1839 and 1847 and is a legacy of British colonial rule on the banks of the Gulf of Bengal. The red brick Writers´ Building was formerly the headquarters of the East India Company and it was from there that trade was carried out across the entire world. It was also the administrative centre for Bengal, Burma and Pakistan.Kalighat is the oldest pilgrimage destination in the world. Narrow pathways lead to a Shiva temple along with stalls selling souvenirs and religious offerings.T he sanctuary was built in 1809 and is still busy today as taxis and bicycle rickshaws wait for the thousands of pilgrims that go there each day. In Kolkata, the Hindu doctrine of a better life after rebirth is, for many, the only hope that they can cling to.
Nevertheless, Kolkata is one of the most fascinating metropolises in the world and also one in which chaos reigns supreme!

Darjeeling, India - Travel Guide and Attractions

Check out my Darjeeling travel guide here - http://migrationology.com/2013/05/darjeeling-travel-guide-things-you-need-to-know/ | Have Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/migrationology
Darjeeling, India, is located in the very Northern part of the West Bengal state. Coming from Kolkata, it's hard to believe that Darjeeling is actually in the same state, it's such a vastly different place.
In order to get to Darjeeling, India, it's easiest to take the train to the nearest station which is located at New Jalpaiguri (known just as NJP by the train code). There's little to do in NJP, but from right outside the train station you can then board to a shared jeep and for 200 Rupees, you can take the jeep straight to Darjeeling. The jeep normally takes about 4 hours to reach the town and they will often stop for a few bathroom and snack breaks. The ride to Darjeeling is very windy and very uphill into the mountains, so if you get sick easily, be sure to take motion sickness medication. You will have some amazing views on the road!
Darjeeling, India, is an old hill station that offers beautiful views of the Himalayas. It's a small town and unlike other huge Indian cities, it's much quieter, peaceful, and it's a very nice place to just explore on foot (though not all the attractions are accessible on foot). So after arriving in Darjeeling, I first set off to explore the Chowrasta Square, which is a non-vehicle area with shops restaurants and cafes. There are also many trails leading from the square to other parts of the town. I explored a few of the footpaths leading in various directions to discover Buddhist Tibetan temples and other residential areas.
Probably the most famous thing about Darjeeling, India, is its production of tea; It's one of the most famous places in the world for tea. The climate, elevation, and rich Himalayan soil make it prime growing conditions. Surrounding Darjeeling you'll have a chance to see rolling tea fields and if you have time you can even visit a tea farm such as Happy Valley. Don't forget to buy plenty of tea in Darjeeling before you depart.
At the top of the main hill in Darjeeling is the Mahakal Temple, one of the most famous Hindu / Buddhist temples in the city. The temple is fully decorated by Tibetan colorful flags and there are lots and lots of monkeys, that can at times be aggressive. You can also walk around the area and explore the cave. Just be careful of the scammers in this area that try to ask you for donations. Another one of the most famous attractions in Darjeeling, India, is the Darjeeling Himalayan railroad which is better known as the Toy Train. It's an old locomotive train that runs of burning coal. You can go to the railroad station and purchase tickets daily for the joy ride, which is a 1.5 hour circuit that takes you on a leisurely ride from Darjeeling to Ghoom, the highest elevation railroad station in all of India. The railroad is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Tibetan Refugee Self Help Center is a center for Tibetan refugees where you'll find handicrafts and other things to purchase. When I went it was quite quiet and there actually wasn't much to do there. Other really popular attractions in Darjeeling, India, include the Himalayan Zoo and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, which are located on the same compound and accessed with the same entrance ticket fee. The zoo was interesting and included a snow leopard and lots of red pandas. The mountaineering institute is a museum that houses many artifacts from Himalayan mountain climbing expeditions.
While many choose to wake up and go to Tiger Hill for the sunrise of the beautiful Himalayan mountain range, I was so cold that I didn't wake up and just stayed on the balcony of my hotel to view the gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. Darjeeling, India, is a beautiful little town and you'll have a great and relaxing time when you travel there!

A slideshow on Cherrapunjee in the state of Meghalaya, in North-East India. This beautiful place once held the record of getting the heaviest annual rainfall in the world(the current record is held by another town a few miles away). The rolling hill, meadows, gorges and plateaus make this a great getaway from the hustle-bustle of urban life.

101 East - India's Love Commandos: Saviours from honour killings

In India, falling in love with the wrong person can be deadly.
Every day, sons and daughters are beaten - some even killed - by their own families for rejecting the caste system and falling in love across strict social boundaries.
But in Delhi, a group of men calling themselves the Love Commandos are risking their own lives to save young people from vicious honour killings and forced marriages.
In this episode, 101 East meets the men desperate to help love find a way in a country where following your heart can bring not only dishonour but also death.
They work in one of the most dangerous and conservative areas of Pakistan.
"Where I come from, women are not usually allowed to get an education," says Khalida Niaz, who went on a hunger strike to convince her father to let her finish school.
Now, she is a radio newsreader for the TribalNewsNetwork, which broadcasts across Pakistan's troubled border region with Afghanistan.
Reporting the news here can be deadly - threats by armed groups have shut down most media outlets. But Khalida and her colleagues know there are some stories that only women can tell.
101 East meets the team making women's voices heard in Pakistan's tribal region.
